Keep Calm and Cuddle Up

They say love is a many-splendored thing. So what could be more splendid than giving this pocket-sized book of love quotes, sayings and appeasements to show how much you truly care? Following in the footsteps of its less love-filled yet highly successful Keep Calm siblings, Keep Calm and Cuddle Up has all the advice you need to understand the complex matters of the heart. With words of wisdom from Jane Austen and Mark Twain, to Dr Johnson and Dolly Parton, let this compendium of amore guide you along the rocky road of love.

'Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your heart or burn down your house, you never can tell' Joan Crawford

'If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain' Dolly Parton

'Immature love says: "I love you because I need you." Mature love says "I need you because I love you"' Erich Fromm

'Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience' Dr Johnson

'Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love' Jane Austen

Reviews

[The] perfect secret Santa gift.

—— Bookseller

Even though it's mostly a comedy book, I can't help but think how legitimately useful I would have found [100 Tricks] in my early twenties. If there is someone who has just graduated uni or has recently entered the workforce, for the love of God, buy it for them. Stick it in their stocking. And "circle back" later to see if they enjoyed it.

—— The Pool

A lot of fun and absolutely on the money.

—— Daily Telegraph, Book of the Year

I love this book so much! People who need to buy this book include a) those who want to advance their careers by knowing how to use body language and just the right amount of bullshit to claw their way to the top; and b) people like me who are bored at work and want to baffle and annoy their colleagues. Cleverly written and illustrated, 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings is sly satire that will bring endless joy to anyone who has ever endured the drudgery of corporate life.

—— Dan Lyons, writer for HBO's Silicon Valley and NYT bestselling author of DISRUPTED

Hilarious. I laughed so hard I had to leave the meeting I was in.

—— Jake Knapp, New York Times-bestselling author of SPRINT

Sarah Cooper is uncannily spot on when describing the seemingly innocent behaviors of people attempting to impress others. It'll make you literally LOL.

—— Christine Tsai, Founding Partner, 500 STARTUPS

A hilarious, enlightening read for anyone who’s ever been stuck in a conference room. With delightful snark and sarcasm, Sarah cleverly skewers our coworkers for ridiculous behaviors that we would never, ever do. It’s funny because it’s true.

—— Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS and GIVE AND TAKE

Perfect for anyone who struggles to understand Shakespeare... hilarious and informative, they really bring Shakespeare to life

—— Reality's a Bore

I simply love @manwhohasitall. Nothing points up the absurdity and inequality of debates about care and career as effectivly as simply putting the shoe on the other foot. Follow him on Twitter and read this book!

—— Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America

Hilarious and eye-opening.

—— Huffington Post

Playfully subversive and long overdue, this book takes those ubiquitous gender stereotypes and grinds them to dust. Very funny indeed.

—— Rebecca Front

Making everyone giggle.

—— New York Post

Perfect satire.

—— Upworthy

If you love satire, you'll love this.

—— Viv Groskop on Woman's Hour

Terrific!

—— Joanne Harris
